Detroit Seafood for Your Next Event
The premium tier of the Detroit roster.
Lobster Rolls and Lobster Mac
The Lobster Food Truck & Pitstop, based in Dearborn, serves indulgent lobster rolls, creamy lobster mac and cheese, and fresh seafood favorites, an East Coast experience in Michigan. The top-priced menu on the roster and the one guests talk about.
Seafood Boils and Fried Shrimp
Detroit Original Seafood Truck cooks golden-fried shrimp, crispy catfish, buttery lobster tails, and savory seafood boils. Built for celebrations and summer outings.
Fish Fry Classics
Crispy catfish and fried fish plates with sides cover the Friday fish-fry tradition and make an approachable seafood option for a large group.
Halal Hibachi
Hibachi-Me-313, Michigan's first halal hibachi truck, grills shrimp and seafood hibachi plates alongside chicken and steak. A strong pick for diverse teams.
Seafood Sandwiches and Fusion
Impasto's Italian flatbreads and Detroit 75 Kitchen's Orleans Shrimp sandwich put seafood in a handheld format that serves fast at a lunch.
Seafood Stations for Client Events
For client hospitality and executive events, a seafood truck stages lobster rolls or a boil as a featured station alongside a second truck for guests who prefer land.
Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks
The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience
The Premium Tier
Seafood trucks carry the highest per-serving menus on the Detroit roster, and they earn it: lobster rolls, boils, and lobster tails served hot from the truck. The right choice when the event needs to impress.
Pairs With Anything
Because seafood is a featured station more than a full-crowd format, it pairs naturally with a taco, burger, or BBQ truck so every guest has a plate and the budget stays balanced.

From Campus Martius to Auburn Hills to Ann Arbor, trucks in our network carry the permits each municipality requires and know the gate drill at automotive and hospital campuses.

Best Times to Book in Metro Detroit
Plan around the metro's calendar for the best selection
Summer Peak (June-August)
Graduation open houses, block parties, and festivals compete for seafood trucks from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Book early for a summer weekend; weekday corporate dates stay flexible, often week-of. Summer weekends are the hardest dates to get.
Fall (September-October)
Ideal outdoor weather, tailgates, and quarter-end appreciation events. October is the sweet spot for outdoor corporate events.
Winter (November-March)
Trucks serve year-round from covered docks, parking structures, and indoor-adjacent setups. Winter weekdays often have the best availability of the year. Holiday parties fill December.
Spring (April-May)
Weather turns by late April and demand climbs fast toward commencement season. Book May and June dates as early as you can. A strong window to start a weekly lunch rotation.
